Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

Had an interesting experience last weekend out at a local bar, *Willys. Was there with some good girlfriends of mine and we met up with some people. Ran into a girl I used to mess around with here and there, *Ellen. Short history: Met through mutual friends, both liked each other, would always do the late night text to meet up and make out somewhere, didn't get more serious than that really, but there was a little bit of a connection. Her and I chatted, and it turned out she knew the people that we were hangin with so we all kind of did our thing.

Now, throughout our whole "history", I always thought that I was the one who was more of a hound-dog type, more likely to mess up any chance of a future by doing something brash like making out with someone else right in front of her at a bar. That's my lame attempt at foreshadowing, because that's exactly what *Ellen did that night! I was, to say the least, taken aback by it. Add to the fact that the guy was a total Goober and I was more than a little irked. Isn't it funny to get wake up calls like that, especially when it comes to romance? One second you're thinkin, word, I guess I can always fall back on that, the next second your on the outside lookin in on an awkward dance/kiss situaiton like some peeping tom, except its in the middle of a bar and all your friends are like...whoa, sorry dude.

Needless to say this isnt the first time something like this has happened. My old boss used to have a saying: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Looks like I'm insane. I can't spot these wolves in sheep's clothing, and its starting to get rediculous. More on this later,

Sporcle: My Anti-Aphrodisiac

Dear Sporcle.com,

Damn you. Your website that contains hundreds if not thousands of useless trivia games has killed my love life.

It started innocently enough, as most addictions do, peer pressure. A friend introduced me to you. I started off helping him figure out the nations with the largest debt, next thing you know I was doing three four quizzes a day with friends. I knew I had a problem when I caught myself doing a Disney princesses quiz by myself.

I introduced you to my girlfriend of 8 months and now its affecting our relationship. She was hooked the moment she did the "Groups of Two" quiz. Now its all we ever do. We don't spoon, don't talk about our days, and god-forbid have sex. Nope. She needs her fix straightaway.

Our bed is a sporcle bed now. I hope you're happy. You are the anti-aphrodisiac.

Sincerely,

In A Relationship

Welcome to Our Blog

Welcome to L&L, this is a blog that IAR and myself started to talk about the crazy world we live in right now, where technology has such an influence on everything we do.

We're both amazed at how things have so rapidly changed, and the way those changes affect our "real world" experiences. Throughout the existence of this blog we hope to interact as often as possible with our readers and hear your thoughts about the Web 2.0 world and how it affects you.

We know there is more than a hint of irony in us writing about how social and romantic interactions have changed with technology, hopefully that will play to this being a truly unique social experience. We plan to use the power of social media to bring people together to talk about these issues, so look out Twitterites, FB stalkers, and "Generation MySpace"!
